Trying to find something to watch on Netflix is definitely a chore, having stuff autoplay isn't facilitating that search - the feature often 'gets in the way' painfully and makes me mute my TV.
I don't have a regular TV service anymore, but I suspect it's quite easy to flip it on, jump to the guide (which probably isn't blaring loud stuff at you) and scan the currently airing shows for something you're familiar with and you like.
So no contradiction as far as I can tell.
My Netflix experience is one where I often have 2-3 shows that I'm currently watching. I want those shows front and center when I log in, perhaps with recommendations for similar shows alongside. It would be even cooler if two shows I was watching had recommendations that crossed over both of them. I should also be able to "close" a series I've started watching, but decided I don't want to watch anymore.
When I don't have active shows that I'm watching I kind of want Netflix to help me find stuff based on my viewing history, right now I have IMDb and other apps open on my phone so that I can check community scores and reviews of content I don't know about, whatever dumb business strategy decision prohibited that data being in the Netflix app should be rescinded immediately. Heck I should be able to pull up all sci-fi, filter for stuff I haven't seen, filter for TV series, movie or whatever, order by rotten tomatoes score and then filter for stuff that isn't space based or something. You get the gist, there's so much Netflix could be doing to enable discoverability.
